I wouldn't say Microsoft's presser was as good as last year's showing since it was the first look at Natal Kinect, but if you look at what Microsoft has really done for the last several years, I don't think it was truly that bad of a performance by any means:

• 1st Party Games - Only show what's going to be available this year (almost without fail)

As you guys may be aware, we're getting down to the nitty-gritty time before the MGC. There ain't a lot of time left, but there's still a lot of stuff left to do. So we need your help!

Basically, in years past I've spent a lot of time trying to get the word out on the MGC to anybody that would listen in these final weeks.

One of those ideas was to make an hourly guide, just like a TV Guide, that plainly lists what's going on and when.

Unfortunately, not everything can be listed on an hourly basis, because, well, sometimes we just do things based on the crowd and on a whim, and other ...

“We’re getting too big”.

Normally I would qualify my correspondence with a few additional statements to the other Midwest Gaming Classic management, but in this case we all knew what that meant.
